Degradation of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate in an ultrasonic zero-valent zinc and activated carbon micro-electrolysis system

Abstract Increased attention has been given to the removal of ionic liquids (ILs) from natural water environments. In this work, 5 kinds of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazoliumtetrafluoroborate ([Cnmim][BF4] (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10)) ILs were degraded in an ultrasonic zero-valent zinc (ZVZ) and activated carbon...
